The young starlet was promoted to the first team as a backup for Dani Carvajal. Being a good reader of the game, he is seen making frequent interceptions and tackles in matches. He is also at ease while going forward to support the attack, which proves to be an incentive for counter-attacks.
With ample room for improvement, Hakimi promises to be a crucial player for the Los Blancos in future. Under the tutelage of Zidane, he will certainly become a player to admire in the years to come.
